Overview
CSTA Antibody / Cystatin A is an antibody targeting CSTA. Host: Mouse. Monoclonal. Clone: rCSTA/8995. Format: Purified. Applications: IHC-P.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: CSTA.
- Immunogen: A recombinant fragment of human protein (around aa 1-98) was used as the immunogen for the CSTA antibody..
- Species reactivity: Human.
- Localization: Cell Surface, Cytoplasm, Nucleus.
- Conjugate: Unconjugated (no label listed).
Biological background (from provided description)
The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins, and kininogens.
Common research applications
- IHC: tissue distribution assessment; interpret with matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, paralogs, and post-translational modifications when interpreting signal.
- Support specificity with biological controls (e.g., KO/KD where available) and technical controls (e.g., secondary-only/isotype).
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
